I Didn't Know All That

I think that this is a really comfortable keyboard but I really don’t have a lot of use for a zoom function.  Using the wheel on the keyboard for scrolling makes it easier on my mouse hand.  I had a hard time fining correct information about this.  Many tutorials on how to hack this keyboard were for older versions of the keyboard software.

1. Create a backup of commands.xml.  It is located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Mouse And Keyboard Center\commands.xml.  The easiest way is to copy and paste the file into the same directory.
2. Open commands.xml in a text editor.
3. Look for entries that contain either one of these
   <C319 Type=”6″ Activator=”ZoomIn”>
   <C320 Type=”6″ Activator=”ZoomOut”>

   Replace “ZoomIn” with “ScrollUp” and “ZoomOut” with “ScrollDown“.  There will be multiple instances in the file.  Depending on the which particular program the settings are for “ZoomInGesture” might be in place of “ZoomIn“.

4. Open Task Manager, click on the Processes tab and close itype.exe.  Rerun itype.exe by going to the File menu then “New Task (Run…)” and type itype.exe and hit enter.

Now it should scroll up and down when using the Zoom wheel on the keyboard.
